Intro
C C
[Verse 1]
E D
Some girls you meet seem so complete
F C
Like they don't need nothing from you
E Dm
They're out to show you they don't want to know you
F C
When deep inside they do
E D
Well, this girl didn't want me or anyone else
F C
She was alone, thought I'd give it a try
E D
I was a young bull stomping in the field
F (C E)
I saw red when she walked by
[Chorus]
G (E D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(D A) (E D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
E D
I had to think fast, I watched her walk past
F C
I knew I would have my way
E D
So I swaggered up, I mean I staggered up
F C
But I didn't have a damn thing to say
E D
Now, two handed strategy always works well for me
F C
So I slipped my hands around her waist
E D
I swore it was the right move, feeling so smooth
F (C E)
Till she backhanded me across my face
[Chorus]
G (E D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(D A) (Em D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
[Sax Solo]
F D F D (Am B) C
[Verse 3]
E D
To make a long story short, she finally got caught
F C
I had to tell her enough is enough
E
She said, "You're just what I needed", and boy
D F
She nearly pleaded with me not to be too rough
[Chorus]
G (E D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(D A) (Em D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
G (E D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(D A) (Em D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
G (E D)
Love has taken its toll, love has
(D A) (Em D)
Love has taken, taken its toll, oh yeah
